Solve the problem.Suppose you win a contest and choose between two award plans. If you choose award plan A, you will receive $1,000,000 per day for 30 days. If you choose award plan B, you will receive five cents on the first day, ten cents on the second day, twenty cents on the third day, and so on (each day you receive twice as much as you did on the preceding day) for 30 days. Which plan would you choose? Explain your reasoning.

What will be an ideal response?


Plan B should be chosen. By plan A you would receive $30,000,000 and by plan B you would receive $53,687,091.15.
